Five suspects have been identified for vandalism and violence during Seattle’s May Day protests.

Seattle police had asked media covering the May Day melee do turn over footage and photographs, hoping to identify suspects.

The first two suspects pictured (below) are wanted for vandalism done to the Niketown store in downtown Seattle. The third, fourth and fifth suspects pictured are wanted for throwing objects and/or striking police officers.

Police say they are still scanning footage to identify more suspects that may have incited violence against police and area businesses.

Seattle police made at least a dozen arrests on May 1 after protesters, including a group of anarchists known as the “black bloc” turned violent against police officers and caused property damage throughout downtown.
